@juona/node-raw-loader v1.0.0

Motivation

I created this little script to help me import my GraphQL type definitions into NodeJS as strings. This allowed me to keep all GraphQL declarations in .graphql files.

I later realized that I could use this code to import just about any file as a raw string into my code.

Usage

Pass the extensions of the files you wish to raw-import to the utility function:

require("node-raw-loader")(".graphql", ".gql", ".svg");

or:

import rawLoader from "./raw-file-loader";
rawLoader(".graphql", ".gql", ".svg");

Say you have a .graphql file like this:

type Product {
  title: String!
  price: NonNegativeInt!
}

extend type Query {
  product(productID: ID!): Product
}

You can now import it as a string into your NodeJS code:

import schema from "./product.schema.graphql"; // imports the schema as a string
console.log(schema); // prints the schema
